I’m not a free diver, other than our annual scallop season up here in Hudson. I wanted to tell you I was shallow water grouper fishing the other day, and a good fish rocked itself up after nailing a plug. The captain was about to break us off, but I said “No. Aaron Young would never let this happen”. I grabbed a mask and dove down and pulled “ a 28” gag right out of the rock. Coolest fish I’ve ever caught. Thanks for the inspiration man. Keep on it!
haha that is amazing! laughed out loud, thanks for sharing made my day!
Good on ya sir.. Ay would never leave a grouper behind lol
Aye another Pasco County angler. Those grouper are movin in!
@@nestoroniFL water temp gotta cool down a lil more for dat brudda
@@nestoroniFL yessir. They’re here.
I just want to put something out there. If they aren’t showing us exactly where it is, it’s because not everyone would show it the same respect they do.
Respect bag limits, folks. Respect size limits. Only take what you need with an eye toward what is sustainable and where an ecosystem needs help. Use all of what you take. Pack out what you pack in if you go camping. Keep your licenses current. Leave things better than you found them.
My time on the soapbox is concluded.
Aaron and Madeleine continue to set a great example in that regard. Thank you both for taking us along for the ride.
couldn't agree more and really appreciate that! we try to be good visitors of the ocean!
Really sad what we see on the bridges, they take everything. Very few times do the cops get there in time.

@@KeyWestWaterman Stop being so awesome. My wife says I need to step up my game.
Man does this bring out the kid in me. At 55, I still want to explore!! Thanks for sharing the adventure.
never gets old!
My grandfather 79 still out here doing stuff like this, get out there!
Leaving the area better than when you found it, yall are the best. We need more videos like this for sure; keep up the excellent work!
we try to each time, thanks so much for coming along!
One of the reasons I enjoy watching you in action is simply because I like your style.
I like your boat set up.
You like to explore.
Your not wastfull.
You appreciate a good ole mangrove snapper as much as anything.
Those mangrove tunnels are incredible.
Places of solitude like that are invaluable.
I'm looking forward to seeing you two camping on your next gheenoe.
really do appreciate that! and it's almost camping season, actually building another Gheenoe set up a little better for these types of adventures. will sell my current one when she's ready!
@@KeyWestWaterman I saw the video regarding your next gheenoe. I've spent a few nights in small boats and canoes while exploring the everglades/10,000 islands. My love for the water is strong like yours.
Wasteful*
Great adventure! Those mangroves and tunnels underneath were majestic. That is truly paradise. Thanks for sharing.
its an awesome place! never gets old
Uncle Dibs, I like the surprise video and I know y'all got back home safe because you uploaded the video but my anxiety went crazy for a bit worried y'all could get lost. I love bait for dinner!!!
haha all good, we are always safe!
Woow really amazing the deep stream cave was nice and the sunlight made it very beautiful video is very enjoyable thank you so much 💐
glad you enjoyed it!
Absolutely loved it. Kind of nice to see you just out exploring with your special lady. Absolutely a beautiful episode. Wouldn't mind seeing more of those. Always great to see somebody just enjoying life and you're right it doesn't always have to be about a harvest of an animal or a fish they can sometimes just be about spending time with loved ones and how beautiful nature can be on its own.
couldn't agree more, thanks so much for tuning in glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome. Brought back some great memories of snorkeling mangroves on Key Biscayne (Bear Cut) and Key Largo as a teen in the 70's. Magical. Your imagery has only been in my memories until now. Thank you!
really love to hear that! its a magical place for sure
To me overall this is your best video yet
really love to hear that 🙏 starting to enjoy the creative/filming side of things, was happy with how this turned out. had a different vibe for me.
Just Beautiful! That is your private Disney World. All the Best
really is, thanks for coming along
Love the mid week video surprises. Keep up the great content and keeping it real.
sneakin em in there! thanks for coming along
Another incredible video Aaron! I could spend so much time swimming around in those mangroves! Where I live in Spring Hill FL, we have a bunch of mangroves but no crazy tunnels like where you were! I loved that one little hole that was jn the middle of that one tunnel that had the round beam of light dropping through onto the mound! Such an amazing shot you captured! Thank you so much for sharing so many fun and awesome adventures you have with us all! It's always a joy when I see a notification from a video from you! Keep up the amazing work!!!
they really are a treat, some days I spend 4-5 hours just swimming. never gets old thanks for coming along
Is that still saltwater?
Awesome, Thanks for taking us along. the Sushi looks amazing
thanks for tuning in!
@@KeyWestWaterman Little Brother, stay safe, batten down the hatches, and prepare for that storm coming in a few days. Living in NOLA , we like you are all too familiar with Hurricanes.
Man, you hold the cam and let Madeleine do the cooking! 😜 Seriously love your channel, man! Good work! You absolutely killed it on the sushi man!
haha
Hey man, just started watching your videos about a month ago. We're up in Boston and my dad gifted me an Ugly Stik which I haven't done much with in 2 years. Definitely has inspired me to get back on the water. Take all of my likes! So relaxing to watch your content and respect that you treat your catches + habitats with the utmost care, as anyone should. Keep up the great work and all the best to you, your wife, and the pup
really appreciate that and love to hear it! thanks so much for watching!
🇨🇦🇨🇦🇬🇾🇬🇾👍
Mvulch we live in mass to just sold my house Monday after closing we’re heading to Florida
@@ronaldgaudet9290 we have family in Osprey.. its tempting! Good luck bro
Learned to use the spoon living in Hawaii, waste is a crime and disrespectful to the harvest. Closer to the Bone the sweeter the meat, however you prepare that rack is spot on, but fresh AP is sashimi grade from head to tail. Great styles Aaron.
I agree! and love my some AP never gets old.
I absolutely love the backyard videos more than I do anything because you do the cooking and catching and we get to see all kinds of different stuff under the ocean and you explain everything so well Aaron I really enjoy watching RUclips together exploring your backyard which is absolutely amazing if anyone has the perfect life it's you guys I wish you the best with health and everything that you do you guys are amazing and so great together I literally bench watch your videos I Can't Get Enough even if I fall asleep watching your videos I end up saving those videos and go back to watch them so I make sure I don't miss a thing because they're so interesting and you just explain every every detail of everything that you usually see in the ocean and the thing is it's not even far away from your home so you're not using much gas like you do on on going way out and you know fishing I just wish I could try all the dishes that you guys make the non spicy ones I don't I don't can't do spice and Heat and say hello to Will for me does he need a date by the way I know this is how I be willing to fly down and be with you all that would be a great time some tropical drinks and seafood dishes and snorkeling which I don't know how to do but I'm sure you guys would teach me no problem what an amazing life you guys really have and I love to watch when the three of you are together it's like three best friends and it's amazing my opinion no one right way I'm not going to stop until I'm all caught up on all your videos which may never be lol. Lots of love from West Virginia🇱🇷 🌷🌹 🌻🍀Kathy🍀😉🌷🌻🌹
Great scenery, great video as usual! As per the meat off the rack that you would use a spoon to scrap…….fish burger!!! Just a option! Keep living the dream for a lot of us!
yup! we do that often as well!
Hi Aaron, Madeline. Love this video, it's been years since my wife and I do snorkeling in the mangroves here in Puerto Rico. I first knew about your channel when you did a video on hurricane Ian making landfall in FL. It just made me cry when I saw this video and to think about all the natural beauty that was lost in the Fort Myers, Sanibel, Cape Coral area.
It will take some time to regenerate back to a sustainable environment. But that is the reality of nature.
Hope to see more of your video on fishing.
yea its really sad, but thats the risk we all take living in paradise. hopefully they can all get back to normal soon enough. thanks for tuning in.
What an awe-inspiring environment. Also, amazing that you don't get lost in there.
it really is magical. and you could if you weren't careful!
Bro sign me up for the mangrove snorkeling tour !!!!
@@KeyWestWaterman Amazing! How do you find your way back?
Dude, this is one of the best video I have seen on RUclips. You guys are cool. Visual definition of the word "adventure". I can feel that you are enjoying your environment.
Some amazing camera shots on this awesome little trip. Not a pro sushi-maker but I am a pro sushi-eater. I always like to add a little more crunch by adding toasted panko. Have to roll it in reverse, with rice side out using wet fingers. Then roll it in the panko. So good. And Madeline is right, gotta ad some cream cheese!!!
I do like a crunch as well but can never get the outside in trick! haha will have to give the wet fingers a try. thanks for tuning in
The hits just keep on coming! Awesome video man. Thanks for thinking of us and taking us along while you were out there.
glad you enjoyed it!
Had a tough day at work today and watching this took all the stress away. You live in a gorgeous place keep making videos like these. I like what you said too, the end of the road doesn’t mean the end of the adventure. Good stuff
really love to hear that! keeps me making em.
I'm from South Africa and I really enjoy watching you guys, you are really blessed with the beauty that surrounds you. Awesome channel
really love to hear that, thanks so much for coming along
Dude your videos are therapeutic and your narration is awesome
really love to hear that, comments like this is why I keep making them
Well this was one amazing video. Figured there would of been a lot of big fish in there. I would love to spend a day exploring there. Thanks for sharing this . Be safe you two.
glad you enjoyed it! and there are time to time, thanks so much
@@KeyWestWaterman surprised you didnt catch a few jewfish laying up under those banks. there used to be a lot of them back when i was diving the mangrove creeks around sugarloaf. Used to see snook, tarpon, lots of snapper and grunts, nurse sharks and a few lobsters. It was always an adventure.
My family had a vacation house in Key Haven when I was a kid. I used to explore, fish & snorkel that area in my 16' skiff. Really cool place that used to produce a lot of lobster on the channel edges of the flats heading into the islands. It's cool watching you explore where I did in the 80's. Never had the nerve to leave the boat and swim under the mangroves though! Brings back a lot of great memories. Awesome channel!
wish I could have seen it back then! thanks for coming along, glad you enjoyed it
Was my thought..."could I ever find the boat again?" "What happens if I'd get lost under there?"...these 2 are truly brave souls. I admire them.
Look at you working the audio experience!! Lmao,, great job friend. I haven’t made time for anything on polishchachafishing in too long,,, life has been super busy. Thanks for sharing as always and glad your magic hasn’t worn off on Maddie! Lol
haha glad you enjoyed it! thanks for tuning in
Been watching for a couple of weeks.
Totally stoked with the lifestyle. So cool y’all found your lifestyle.Love y’all are one with the ocean.We are given each day and y’all have a great life together.
Keep the the videos coming.
They are not only entertaining but also educational.
really appreciate that and love to hear it! thanks so much for the positive feedback!
This is better than NatGeo! Thank you Aaron for taking us along. Being born and raised in NY, I don’t get to see this often. All the best brother.
glad you enjoyed it! thanks so much
I got the creeps a little bit just watching you guys crawling around under the Mangrove roots. Thanks for doing it so I don’t have to. Cool, thanks.
😂 its not so bad! gets a little spooky in some spots. thanks for coming along
What a great video! I swear you could make a living on still shot photography, such beautiful nature, seems to be unspoiled, almost virgin like. Love all your videos, this is on the top ten!
im actually in the process of getting a decent camera! I see way too much cool stuff out there 👀
I will buy your prints, for sure
Tempted to almost say you are starting a RUclipsr posting schedule! Great work Aaron love the mid week surprise
haha im getting there!
Love the back country and what it has to offer. Love offshore fishing but would rather be in the back country. Thanks for Sharing.
glad you enjoyed it! def love it back there!
O yeah !! Great video. I’m surprised you guys didn’t hit any saltwater crocodiles. We have them all over Naples Marco Island in the backcountry.
Hey Aaron, Thank you so much for sharing your adventures with us! your living the dream! but in all honesty i see how hard you work to live the dream. Thank you for keeping it real with us and showing us the highlight reel of your life! you are AWESOME
happy to share, as long as yall keep watching em ill keep making em
I'd love to see a collaboration video with you, Cooking With Clams, and Outdoor Chef Life making some amazing sushi!
I’d like to eat some sushi that’s for sure!
These mangrove adventures just never get old. You guys are so frickin lucky!!!
Its also really cool seeing your film making skills advance. The drone footage and new angles and stuff you are doing lately really make a difference in the over all viewing experience. Great work. As always....thanks for bringing us along!
I won't argue that! and ill be honest im really starting to enjoy that side of things, been feeling artsy lately. 🤓
Hands down the best vids on living the perfect life,and it couldn’t happen to a nicer couple…(loved the little ‘dig’ on global warming) Cheers from Blighty folks !
haha thanks so much 🙏
Thank you for taking us on your adventures. So much undiscovered beauty in the keys
thanks for coming along!
Hey Key West Waterman
Look a little closer in there...
When I was a kid in S Florida, we used to get Lobster underneath those mangrove canopies during the day...
They lay up in there on underside of the mangrove roots and that false floor canopy👊 Hurrican Andrew messed all that up..
Love the videos Brother
I've checked quite extensively. I rarely find any lobster in there its kinda strange
Hey Aaron, what an amazing place. That video was PLANET EARTH worthy. I could just imagine David Attenborough narrating as you guys explored through the mangrove maze. Thanks for sharing.
haha, it really has that feel out there. such a magical place it is
Wow that is an AWESOME secret spot. Do you ever see any sharks, or crocs while there? I know my girlfriend would be nervous snorkeling in a spot like that.
nurse sharks is about it, no crocs. Madeleine really love its out there, its a magical place!
Amazing new adventure!!
glad you enjoyed it!
First of all,,, I like watching your videos because they are different.
Second,,, I like it when you're going underwater for 10 minutes and then a commercial comes on then I realize I've been bobbing my head up and down trying to miss the sticks and structures of what you're diving and I probably look like a complete idiot to my dog...lol
TNX 4 VID
hahaha I actually laughed out loud for that one! 😂 thanks for coming along
Legend has it that if you find the 36th chamber, you’ll gain the knowledge of the Wu-Tang.
lol!
@3:00 this is the spot where you first tried the floaty bbq thingy n you two made dinner with the sun setting? I think hahaha
actually it isn't! alot of those areas look exactly alike.
@@KeyWestWaterman dammm I thought I was correct hahahah great spot though
Awesome video ya'll really do live in paradise. We used to live on Big Pine in the seventies. Fished and snorkeled all over the backcountry out of a 12 ft. Jon boat. You have quite the life. Adventures every day then dinner with an "Angel". LOL
we really do! doing out best to enjoy it!
Wednesday!!! I feel so special!
haha hump day!
You make this seem so tranquil and chill 😂 do you never see snakes, gators, sharks, etc on these type dives? I figured the mangroves would be riddled with predators.
snakes sometimes, sharks as well, dont get gators this far south.
LOL. I can almost hear some crazy Climate Alarmist going out of his/her mind when you said the extra high tide is a yearly cycle.
I'm sure their on the phone with PETA and the SWAT team at this very moment.
lol!
🤣 so true....
Thank you for sharing! I could easily see spending all day there exploring
its hard not to honestly
OMG! I love your channel but this one blows them away! Not only is the scenery beautiful but including Madeline makes it perfection! I love your laid back demeanor mixed with your kick-ass knowledge in an underwater environment. Madeline, included in the mix, will shoot ya'll into Y.T. stardom! I can't wait for more! Thank Ya'll!!!! Putnam Co., FL
really love to hear that, happy with how this one came out. captured the feeling we get when we are out there. thanks for tuning in!
Awesome video Aaron. That was great idea 💡 about exploring the Mangrove tunnels and that AP sushi 🍣 among too. Thanks for sharing. Have a great week 😀
thanks for coming along!
I hope you are busy gathering your things and heading to a safe place. I pray for all you and Floridians
we are locked and loaded!
@@KeyWestWaterman Godspeed to You 🖖🏽
I live in Minnesota and feel the weight of the hustle and stress of daily life. Yet watching you reminds me that we can live life the way we want to and thrive in the process. I don't have to be a slave to the way the rest of the world thinks we ought to live or how fast we should live it. God bless the both of ya and thanks for the deep breaths and motivation. Love watching your videos!
couldn't agree more! thanks so much for tuning in and coming along!
Really cool guys ...thanks for sharing we all dive via your camera .Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it!
I will say again backyard paradise 👍🏼👍🏼
absolutely!
No cream cheese and sushi! Thanks for tagging us along on your journeys and life voyage, always a treat!
haha! thanks for coming
Thank you Aaron and Madeline for sharing such a majestic place… and that’s why I’m retiring there … whatever it takes !! Blessings
glad you enjoyed it! thanks for coming along
Can’t believe wife and I are moving there this week! Kinda surreal.
haha congrats!
The sauce!!! How awesome is Madeleine for holding up that bottle to the camera!! Will be here Friday. Can’t wait. Thanks guys! 🍣
I always forget to! haha its good gotta try it
Great Video!!! Thank you for the tour of paradise 🏝😎🤙
glad you enjoyed it!
Mannnnn I love your content. It just keeps getting cooler. Not just about Spearfishing, also about exploring and sharing the experiences!
Keep up the great work!!! Gotta check out that sauce
love to hear it! thanks so much for tuning in!
Breathtakingly Beautiful Mangrove scenery !!💚💚💚Thank You for taking the time to show us this hidden underwater oasis!! 🐟🐠🌴🌊
glad you enjoyed it!
How awesome!!! I would definitely leave a breadcrumb trail to follow out!
HAha
Not sure how I missed this one but it's a banger. More like this Aaron!! Glad it came up on my suggested feed.
I love your surprise mid-week video drops so much, what a treat that area is incredible! Thanks for another awesome love and adventure filled video, you and Madelline are so inspiring please keep them coming. How incredible is life on the water?! Cheers brother
haha trying to sneak them in when I can! really love it back there, thanks for coming along
So, a few years ago a buddy and me did the same thing while in Key West. This brought back ALL those memories. Such an awesome adventure. Nice video!!!
love to hear it!
May life bring you much happiness together, your videos fascinate me
love to hear that, thanks so much
im a sushi expert and you did amazing! only thing id suggest is a slightly wet hand is much better at applying/ spreading the rice than a paddle. also, the rice vinegar/ sugar dressing for the rice is the best hand moisturizer youll ever use!
really love to hear that! thanks for the feedback!
Beautiful! I would have never found my way back to the boat. Thank you for the mid-week video!
haha just keep swimming!
Beautiful video content as usual, be blessed you two, thanks for the breakaway from my world or rush and stress to yours of beauty and tranquility... educational as well,
Thanks Aaron.
thanks for coming along!
Watching now.
thank you!
Thanks! That was awesome! Madeline has my respect for just snorkeling into random Mangrove holes. God bless you both!
haha she's a wild one!
I recognize those mangroves. Your secret is no more!!! Ahhh hhhhaaaa haha!🤣
lol!
Not trying to be disrespectful, but that wiggie pull at the beginning was hilarious! 😂
😂
What a trip thanks for the take along Aaron... Blessed
thanks for coming along!
Very cool! Could snorkel like that for hours and never get bored! Thank you for bringing that awe inspiring journey to our eyes.
haha we do! often way longer than we intent to.
It is obvious to see why. Simply magnificent! Do you see alot of fish other then the small bait?
Man this looks like an amazing way to spend an afternoon.! Look forward to every episode.!
it was a good time! thanks for coming along
I'm glad I stumbled onto your channel! Great content and action! You are truly living the dream!
love to hear it! thanks so much
I enjoyed the adventure and at the end you had a good meal I enjoyed watching you make that also good content all around
glad you enjoyed it!
Brilliant episode. I’m amazed you can find your back to the boat after swimming through all those twists and turns.
I learnt the hard way when I forgot and rubbed my eye after handling a hot chilli. Never again! 🤣
haha lots of practice!
You hit it man, whatever you wanna put in it that tastes good to you is the right way. Awesome scenery once again. Thanks for sharing
🙏 thanks for tuning in!
Very beautiful scenery. The water looked great. It’s to bad it wasn’t clear to see more. Thanks for again sharing Aaron
yea had a little fuzz on this day for sure.
I love these kind of videos,this was so amazing ,such a beautiful place,thanks for sharing
glad you enjoyed it!
You are doing a Wonder for key West tourism! Goodonyas!
Just one more thing to add to your equipment... A compass 🧭! Dontchaknow!!
haha I hope!
Such a cool adventure you took us on. You two make it look so natural to be swimming in that stuff. That is most definitely a buddy system adventure, it almost all looks the same. Always enjoy your adventures.
glad you enjoyed it! its one of our favorite places
30 second sequence starting at 17:17 is brilliant underwater cinematograhy that any professional would be proud of!
really appreciate that!
I see what you mean...beautiful scenery.
There should be a ❤ icon a 👍 is not enough. Just an awesome video of such a beautiful, unique and important ecosystem. Thanks again!!
love to hear it! thanks so much
I really enjoy the way that you begin your videos. Nothing flashy, a signature sign on statement and get to the video. This is a true example that "less is more." (I haven't heard you describe a fish as "friendly" for quite a while either. Your productions are getting better and better.) Keep up the good work and I wish you much success!
trying to keep it simple as I consider myself a simple person! really appreciate the positive feedback thanks so much for coming along 🙏
There are a lot of parallels in our stories. The video about how you kind of "fell into" your current life is one of the best.
I live in Mexico now, a five minute walk from an amazing beach. I don't need a boat and I fish as often as I can.
Check out this rooster fish. And if you ever come to the Puerto Vallarta area let me know.

Content is on point, thanks for bringing us along!
glad you enjoy it!
Fun video to watch. 20 plus years ago I lived near Ocala. I went to Juniper springs alot. This vid reminds me of that. Thanks!
glad you enjoyed it! one of the springs I haven't been to
@@KeyWestWaterman has the best kayak run. Beautiful 7 mile one way trip.
My favorite part of videos is seeing you fly around in the gheenoe
haha I really love driving it around it never gets old.
I thoroughly enjoyed this!!!! Wow, wow, wow. New subscriber because of your storm prep. What a gem of a channel. Glad I found you.
glad you enjoyed it! thanks so much for tuning in!
Wild and amazing! Great video again. Thanks for sharing y'all's get away.
glad you enjoyed it!
Just awesome, love your videos from the first second to the last one. Keep it up!
thanks so much!
